What Other Country Just Left the U.S. in the Dust on Gay Rights? How About Uruguay?
Hungary just granted gay and lesbian domestic partners a host of federal benefits, and now Uruguay has done what Barack Obama said he’d do as soon as he took office — and has been backpedaling on ever since: The South American country has lifted its ban on gays in the military.
Peru, on the other hand, is regressing.
But that doesn’t diminish the good news coming out of Uruguay — nor should it diminish the shame and embarassment Barack Obama should feel for his bait-and-switch tactics with gay Americans, but obviously, doesn’t.
